Carrying on the tradition of free

room 21 in the gymnasium, at

Communist parties spOke, present­ing
the platforms of their parties to

s' of the . Richmond Division
of the college'.
The first speaker of the evemng,
Mr. H. R. Ansell, who ran for mayor
on the Socialist ticket in the last el­ection,
barely had time to start his
platform, of which he only gave one
plank in the twenty minutes he
spoke. He seemed rather inept, and
did not once mention the Socialist
candidate for president, Norman
Thom~·, although he praised P resi­dent
Roosevelt several times leaving
little, indeed, for the Democrat to
say later.
Mr. Ansell, however, did mention
the fact that each political party in
the United States represents a dif­ferent
economic stratum of society,
and that the present party in power
realized the time had come when it
was necessary to make concessions
to the toiling people, whom t he So­cialist
'flarty purports to represent, or
t hat the mass of wage-earners would
rt'volt. All good and well to tell how
the wealth of this country is divided
sO that 1 % of the population owns
60% of the wealth, but 'Mr. Ansell
goes no furt'her in telling how this
situation is to be remedied. He
does state, though, that the first
plank in the platform of the Socia­list
Party is reform of the United­states

Has our instruction gone for naught
that we can afford to go on living in
such an untidy room?
The floor is apparently the com­mon
receptacle for cigarette butts,
ashes, matches and the like. And no

is EO handy. F r iends, what if our
public should find out about this?

Senior Dance First
In New Gymnasium
The Class of '37 inaugurated the
revival of dances held in the gym­nasium.
The dance, which was held
last Friday n ight, was a celebration
of the opening of the gymnas,ium,
and also of the festival of Hallo­we'en.
E e r i e witches prowled
around in Qimly-lighted corners.

from inviting nooks and niches, sur­rounded
by touches of rustic scen­ery.
The beauty of the multi-col­ored
autumn leaves was excelled
only by that of the newly-finished
gymnasium.
Music, furnished by Marshall Ro­tella
and his orchestra, was a com­bination
of plaintive, southern melo­dies
and of the more energetic,
"swing time" variety. The attrac­tively
decorated s tage furnished an
appropriate background for the
mus·ic masters.
The receiving line was composed
of Mrs. Chalkley, Social Director of
the college; Mrs. Alice Whiteside
Jorg, Senior class sponsor; Miss Kit­ty
Stevens, president of the Senior
class; and Dr. and Mrs. Hibbs, the
Dean of t'he college and his wife.
Several features of the Senior
dance helped to make the occasion a
memorable one. Dates of t he mem­bers
of t he class were presented at
the door with boutonnieres which
distinguished them as Senior es­corts:.

one interested in the welfare of the
student body.
Time was when the AUas Club
assumed the responsibility of re­decorating
the Students ROOm. The
members accomplished the project,

itself into one question: What

Dr. Montague
Speaks To Seniors
On Living Faith
Shows How Chri stian Church
Has Grown During 50
Years
Wednesday, October 28, Dr. Cary
Montague spoke in chapel. He was
introduced by Miss Frances Holtz­claw,
president of the Student Body.
The seniors, to whom Dr. Montague
spoke especially, marched in with
their class officers leading the pro­cession.
The officers who were
wearing caps and gowns are: Kitty
StevenS, preSident; Betsy Wilson,
vice-president; Marie Duling, secre­tary;
Polly Ann Austin, treasurer ;
and Alice Basl!:erville, Student Coun­cil
Representative. Before intro­ducing
Dr. Montague, Miss Holtz­claw
asked the student body as a
whole to know their seniors.
Dr. Montague emphasized the
fact t hat religion had not died,
pointing out its presence in social
\OVOI'}!:, in the medical profession,
and in the world as a whole. He
ha9, drawn up charts showing the
increase in the percent of Church
memberships over the increase in
the percent of growth of popula­ti:
n over the Unit~d States ' during
the past hundred years. Of course,
he said, this had been affected by
the steady dl'opping off of im,mj·
gration rates~ due to governmental
control. In spite of this fact, how­ever,
the nu:nber of church member­ships
doubled in the first fifty of
the hundred years, and is now al­most
triple the number recorded at
the beginning. If these statistics
are to be believed, it would seem
that the radicals who say today
that religion is outmoded and has
lost its place in the present civili­zation
are wrong.
"All religious people are not in
the churches, remember that" , Dr.
Montague said, again reminding the
senior class members to carry God
into their social work as they go.
